MOSCOW—Russia hasn't yet received a coupon payment on a Eurobond that Kiev said had channeled last week, a finance ministry spokesman said Monday.

The Ukrainian finance ministry said Friday it had paid a $73 million coupon on a $3 billion Eurobond purchased by Russia as part of the bailout deal struck between Russia's President Vladimir Putin and his now-ousted counterpart Viktor Yanukovych in late 2013.
